By asking this question, the interviewer is CHECKING your ability to implement logical decisions. You need to express your logical method of thinking out each step, calculating the implementation with team-mates, weighing in alternatives, and choosing the best action route.

For example − "I was assigned the task of purchasing office equipment. We used to follow a "purchase-per-month" mode of purchase and payment. I THOUGHT of opting for a bulk purchase of six MONTHS, as I could hardly see the difference in payment in the per-month structure. Also, by ordering in bulk, we could get discounts and freebies. We OPTED for a bulk purchase in January, which proved to be a wise decision, as the PRICES of electronic goods increased by 15% with the new budget."
